If you've been following the blog for longer than you'd like to admit, you might remember how things went down when I found Prair (wasn't shopping), fell in love (wasn't shopping) then bought her approximately two weeks before my wedding (wasn't shopping) as a sort of wedding gift to myself. I suppose The Boy got an extra happy wife that way...
But anyway. If I spend too much time not getting to play with my ponies, my eye wanders and while I can usually dismiss even the loveliest prospects without much thought - my eye has landed on one and sort of like Prair - I can't get him out of my head.
While I might be able to justify the purchase price - now that we have gone Full-Hunter and are enjoying the benefits of a high end, high service barn - I definitely cannot justify having two in full training.
That may be the only reason why I'm not typing this post from a hastily purchased plane seat en route to Virginia to go see him.
I love a nice looking Quarterback baby - and this might be the most huntery QB baby I've seen thus far.
Right age, right size, right look... just maybe not the right time. But then again.....
Twice the cookies, twice the fun? If Prair's tack fits him, it seems like a legit possibility.
ReplyDeleteAnd besides that's he's GORGEOUS!!!
Oh girl if you want some enabling I got all the encouragement in the world right here for ya. That boy is GORGEOUS and I WANTS it. That trot, that canter, that JUMP. Mmmm I love him.
ReplyDeleteDear Gingham:
ReplyDeleteVet him. Buy him.
Sincerely,
ALL OF BLOGLAND

ReplyDeleteOh he's GORGEOUS!!! But, the idea of owning another one of these kamikaze dolla dolla bill pooping beasts gives me hives - that's just for me personally though! I get how hard it is to struggle with soundness issues when all you want to do is go out, have fun, progress (novel idea!?!?!) and enjoy yourself. Excited to see what decision you make. If I had the funds, I'd just vet and ship that dreamy hunk ASAP...you can figure out riding him later :P
ReplyDeletePlease excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin...
ReplyDeleteThat is like a chestnut version of Gus! You know how awesome that canter would be to ride...all...day...long... Just consider it the finale to your retail therapy. How else can I convince you that you HAVE to get this horse?!

ReplyDeleteHe is lovely! Splurge, Splurge, Splurge! Oh, and what of Prairie? Back to broodmare? I'd love to see her crossed with Gatsby. ;)
ReplyDeleteI vote yes. Go get him!
ReplyDeleteCome to Virginia and try him and visit me!!!
ReplyDeleteOK, the only negative I can dredge up is the one lacking stocking bugs me in a too OCD sorta way. His rhythm to the jump was dreamy. So... Does Prair really need full training? Maybe let her step back a bit and ride this handsome beast more? I can't imagine with kids and work having two rides, but I'm sure you could find a way ;)
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes saw this one, CK imports some lovely horses! This one is nice...
ReplyDeleteNice, Chad always has fancy ones.... Come see us in VA! There are TONS of fancy hunters to try.
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling, PLZ BUY!
ReplyDeleteOmg ... He is to die for!!
ReplyDeleteIn love!!

I was just on their Facebook page last week, drooling over this horse (and all the others they have). GET HIM!!
